How does a rotating thunderstorm become a powerful tornado?
In Episode 4 of STORM TRACK, we dive into the science behind tornado formation and explore how the atmosphere creates one of the most powerful and dangerous weather phenomena on Earth.
Discover the key ingredients that help tornadoes develop, including warm, moist air, atmospheric instability, and wind shear. Learn how supercells form rotating updrafts called mesocyclones, how rotation can intensify near the ground, and why some thunderstorms produce tornadoes while others don't.
We'll also explore why tornadoes have different shapes and sizes, how their intensity is rated using the Enhanced Fujita Scale, and how meteorologists use Doppler radar to identify dangerous storm rotation.
Plus, learn important tornado safety tips and why you should never wait until you see a funnel to seek shelter.
